GRAND RAPIDS — Incumbent Republican Rep. Ben Davis won the race for state House District 6A against DFLer Sam Grigsby.
Davis is the co-vice chair of the State Government Finance and Policy. He is also a member of the Elections Finance and Government Operations and the Veterans and Military Affairs Division committees.
Grigsby has spent the last three decades as a first responder for the Grand Rapids area. He first entered the political scene in 2025 as a DFL contender in Senate District 6 when former Republican state Sen. Justin Eichorn resigned after his arrest.
State House District 6A includes portions of Cass, Crow Wing and Itasca counties, including the cities of Remer, Crosby, Crosslake, Cuyuna, Deerwood, Emily, Fifty Lakes, Garrison, Ironton, Manhattan Beach, Riverton, Trommald, Cohasset, Grand Rapids and La Prairie.
Davis was first elected in 2022 and will begin another two-year term in January.
